<h2>1. Introduction

<p>This document defines the requirements for the campus wide scheduler
program at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Though it is a campus wide scheduler, each 
department is unique and will be using this software individually.  
This tool aims at solving the
traditional problem of scheduling university professors, courses, and
classrooms in a fast, efficient, and accommodating fashion. This
process is currently performed by hand and by a few individuals (per
department). This program will allow professors to input preferences
into the system, and it will allow the main scheduler to generate a
schedule with the click of a button. While scheduling, the program will
take professor preferences into account, and will allow for editing
afterwards.</p>
